brianmacza Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have a '97 with stock pipes and a K&N airfilter. Replaced the 17 tooth front sprocket with a 16-toother, and arranged a speedohealer. That made an awesome difference in terms of acceleration and the ability to play with traffic, but putting an exhaust analyser on it (I rebuild old Mini's and thus need some strange tools) it appears that at idle and up to about 4000rpm it runs a bit lean. Is raising the needles a reasonable way to resolve this? Should I invest in a jet kit? I don't want to lose the stock exhausts (being quiet is GOOD) so the flow needs of an aftermarket pipe isn't there. c'mon guys... gimme a sanity check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 idle - 4k at less than 1/8 throttle is the idle jet... Turn your idle mixture screws out in 1/2 turn increments until it's gone... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Turn your pilot screws in till they bottom lightly, then out 3 turns. Check hardware stores for tiny .025 thick washers to place under all 4 needles to raise them slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
